Announcing The Longest Road Show

November 19, 2018

Heat, pressure and endurance. It's how coal becomes diamond, and how character and talent are developed and revealed. That kind of dedication is a badge of honour among touring musicians, who come to find beauty in it.

A concert event like no other, The Longest Road Show celebrates the amazing talents that arise from the endless miles of touring, and promises to be a journey of discovery for performers and audience alike. Spotlighting a killer lineup of road-tested musical artists — a bill co-headlined by Terra Lightfoot, Lindi Ortega, and Begonia — The Longest Road Show will wind its way through key Ontario cities in February 2019. Tickets go on sale as of 10am Friday November 23. Dates are as follows:

Each night on The Longest Road Show will feature these stellar artists performing in a showcase format. Every concert features the backing of the Longest Road band (bassist Anna Ruddick, drummer Michelle Josef, keyboardist Kelsey McNulty), plus special marquee and local guests. And each show will be a medley of intermingled performances, with an intermission mid-way.

The Longest Road Show is produced in conjunction with LiveNation Entertainment, sponsored by Exclaim!, and benefits Women in Music Canada, MusiCounts, YWCA Hamilton, and Girls Rock Camp.
